Default civic 2001 brake abutment shim

Hi

I had a very hard time to put the brake pad on with the abutment shim. I brushed it, grease it, and put new shim on and it wouldn't go in.

With both removed it was too loose. So I took off the bottom shim each side.
It fitted well.

Is it so bad to do so?

Thank you

You might want to post this in the civic 01-05 section. Pictures would be useful too.
